Nothing Personal Birdy

Nothing personal birdy by jackcrowder
Robin the Boy Wonder is the eager, youthful sidekick of Batman, the Caped Crusader, the vigilante crime-fighting alias of millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.  Introduced in 1940 as orphaned acrobat Dick Grayson in the DC comic book series Batman, Robin was played by Burt Ward in the 1966 television series on ABC.

As depicted by Burt Ward, Robin has an athletic acrobat's build, fitting nicely into his colorful, flamboyant costume, with its bright red tunic, its shiny, satin yellow cape, its green, form-fitting shorts, and its flesh-colored tights.  His cute, boyish face is only barely obscured by a thin mask.


Due to his youth, inexperience, and smaller size, the Boy Wonder is clearly the weak link in the Dynamic Duo, which their opponents often seek to exploit.  Robin is also cocky, enthusiastic, and overly eager to prove his independent crime-fighting abilities, especially to Batman.  He is often in trouble and in need of rescue. 

The picture "Nothing Personal Birdy" was commissioned from the artist jackcrowder through DeviantART in 2015.  

While the Dynamic Duo were successful in fighting crime in fictional Gotham City, I was wondering how successful the cute, cocky, colorful sidekick of the legendary Batman would be against real criminals.

This picture is fan art and is intended to promote the appreciation of Burt Ward's portrayal of Robin in the 1966 television series "Batman".  This is an original scene and did not appear in the movie, the television series, or any other derivative material.
